Welcome

Dallas / Ft. Worth / Austin / San Antonio / Houston Personal Injury Attorneys

An injury can change your life forever. There are not only physical repercussions – you and your family may be struggling with the financial, mental, and emotional aftershock of that single moment in time. You may try to work through the event, but without finding a resolution regarding your injury, it is impossible to make any forward progress and move on with your life.

The unbearable part is that you know the accident wasn’t your fault.

But even if your personal injury was due to someone else’s negligence, it might be difficult to know how to take action. With flashes of the accident lingering in your memory, and with the physical impacts of your injury still holding you back, it is often hard to pick up the pieces, find the help you need, and seek the justice that you deserve.

At Fears | Nachawati, we have the ability to help you find peace with your personal injury. Not only are we dedicated to fighting for the justice you deserve, but we have the experience, knowledge and skills to pursue your case to the fullest extent of the law and bring justice and peace to you and your family. We are dependable, formidable, reputable, knowledgeable and accountable.

While your head may still be spinning from the consequences of your accident and injury due to another person’s or a company’s negligence, we have the ability to take control of the situation and steer you toward a fair and honest resolution. In your difficult time, we pride ourselves on being available, trustworthy, and effective.

Serving the people of Texas with offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, and San Antonio, Fears | Nachawati will fight for your rights in automobile accidents, 18-wheeler truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents. We handle wrongful death cases as well as spinal cord and brain injuries.

Accidents happen. Even if you take all available precautions, the vast majority of Americans will be involved in a car accident during their lifetime. Whether you are driving your daughter to her softball practice on I-30 when you are struck by a drunk driver or whether you are making your way home after work on I-680 when you are hit by a large truck, sometimes there is little you can do to protect you and your family from the negligence of others.

In Texas alone in 2006, there were almost 7,000 large truck and bus accidents that resulted in injury. Across the country in 2006, there were over 38,000 fatal crashes. At our firm, we see past these overwhelming statistics and devote ourselves to the faces and personal stories behind each and every accident.

Enduring a personal injury or the wrongful death of a loved one can overwhelm you with confusion, anger, stress, and depression, and uncertainty. At Fears | Nachawati, our job is to lift the burden of your accident off of your shoulders and act as your advocate. We want to hold those responsible for your personal injury accountable for what they’ve done. Free Consultation

Crucial Timing in Dallas Personal Injury Cases

A personal injury claim begins with an injury from an auto accident, motorcycle accident, slip & fall, dog bite, or wrongful death. One generally has two years from the accident/incident to file a lawsuit to recover damages associated with the injuries and damages to property. This time limit is called the "Statute of Limitations." If this time has passed, immediately speak with an Dallas personal injury attorney to review exceptions to this general rule.

• Auto and Motorcycle Accidents
• Slip and Falls
• Dog bites
• Nursing Home Negligence

What to do after a Personal Injury or Auto Accident in Dallas

• 1. Document the Accident or Incident

As soon after the accident / incident as possible, you should document the facts of the case. Begin a folder to keep all the information together. Be sure you have the information you need about any witnesses to the accident (name, phone numbers and addresses) - you may need them during trial to prove the other party's fault. Take photographs of the cars involved, the location of the accident, and your injuries (most Dallas personal injury lawyers have private investigators for this purpose but take photographs early so that there is substantial evidence of the injuries involved). Draw a diagram of the accident scene with sufficient detail as to locations of landmarks and vehicles to assist your recollection later on. Remember to note dates and times.

The insurance company for the driver at fault may want you to give them a recorded statement, either in person or on the phone. Most Dallas auto accident lawyers recommend that you not give such a statement, at least not without first consulting with a top Dallas auto accident lawyer. Most Dallas auto accident law firms encourage you to talk with your own insurance company, however, so that you can receive any medical payment or personal injury protection benefits that may be available under your own insurance policy (insurance rates generally cannot be raised from using one's medical payment provision under insurance). These are highly technical issues - please consult one of our competent auto accident attorneys familiar with the Texas system and can guide you through the process.

2. Keep An Injury Diary

People either forget or repress many of the problems they suffer after a auto accident injury. You should begin keeping a diary or log. Write down information about:

• how much pain you feel daily (on a scale of 1 to 10),
• activities you could not perform during the day
• events that you miss due to the injuries like vacations, family reunions, etc..
• hobbies you cannot / could not perform due to the injuries like sports, etc..
• physical activities you cannot/could not perform as a result of the injuries including private relations.

This information can be invaluable at the time of settlement negotiations or trial. In addition to the above list, you should record the following information in your diary:

• a list of your injuries resulting from the Dallas accident or incident
• log (daily) your pain and discomfort including trouble sleeping, nightmares, etc..
• log how your personal injuries have affected your job performance
• log how your injuries have affected your day-to-day activities (especially activities you wanted to engage in but could not due to pain or discomfort)

3. Recovering From Your Injuries

You should faithfully follow any instructions from your doctor, and be sure to keep any appointments with specialists, physical therapists, etc. In most lawyers' view, legal issues should be secondary to your full recovery - physically and emotionally

As injury professionals, we have a duty to protect the rights of victims of personal injury, car accidents, tractor trailer accidents, pedestrian injuries, traumatic brain injury, medical malpractice, prescription drug claims (including Neurontin), nursing home abuse and neglect, healthcare injuries, dog and animal attacks, defective products / products liability, slip and fall, wrongful death, workers' compensation and Social Security disability. We do not represent the insurance industry or big business. We represent people like you.

If you have suffered a serious injury due to the negligence of another, don't be victimized twice. You will be up against the insurance industry, big business, and all of their resources. You are not on an even playing field. You need someone on your side to help you obtain the fair and reasonable compensation that you deserve. You need an Dallas injury lawyer with experience and success in representing injured people.

Insurance companies try to settle claims as quickly and cheaply as possible, because, like every business, their focus is on making a profit. When you have been injured through the fault of someone else, the insurance company of the person responsible for your injuries will usually contact you immediately to settle the claim. This happens even when you have serious injuries and the full extent of the damage may not be known by you for some time. When this happens, you need an Dallas injury lawyer with your best interests in mind - an Dallas personal injury lawyer who understands the complexities of personal injury and wrongful death laws.

AUTO ACCIDENT ATTORNEY | CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER | AUTO WRECK LAW FIRM

Although most Texans will be involved in a car accident during their lifetime, car accidents don’t happen to you every day. After the initial shock of what has happened and you begin your slow physical and emotional recovery from the crash, it’s hard to know how to act or who to trust in a situation that is largely unfamiliar to you. There’s no guide to follow or clear direction on what to do. You find yourself not only struggling financially in the wake of your life-changing car accident, but also completely unknowing of the process that comes next. When you get into a serious car accident that has physical repercussions, you ask yourself, “What do I do next? What steps to I take to make things right?” Free Consultation

On the other hand, insurance companies deal with car accidents every single day. They have built their industry on preventing people like you from getting the support and compensation that they deserve – and they have made avoiding payments to injured customers into an intricate art. It is easy for them to use confusing jargon, to play games, to delay your case, even to fall back on utilizing deceit, threats, and coercion. It does not matter to insurance companies that you suffered from whiplash or broken bones due to someone else’s negligence on the highway. It does not even matter to insurance companies that you or a family member suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury or brain injury in an auto accident. Simply put, they would not have a successful business if they had to help all of their customers. They are on a mission to prevent you from seeking justice and monetary compensation from your accident – and after decades of successfully thwarted cases, they excel at it. Free Consultation

According To The National Highway Traffic Administration

There were almost 3,500 fatal car accidents in Texas alone in 2006– an average of around ten people die in auto accidents every single day. And while accident rates are dropping due to advances in automobile safety such as airbags, seatbelts, and on-board technology, there are still many fatalities and serious injuries. These deaths and personal injuries are preventable and often caused by human error or carelessness: 1,810 fatalities were due to alcohol-related events alone and 1,580 fatalities were due to speeding. In an ideal world, the people involved in these accidents would seek help, find justice, and therefore prevent the negligent party from causing similar harm to another Texan family. However, many people don’t know how to react or who to talk to when their life is affected by a car accident. Free Consultation
